MLA/DLA: The Beach Edition

2025 Annual Conference
May 7-9, 2025
Ocean City, Maryland

We are very excited to gather with our colleagues as we return to Ocean City for the
MLA|DLA: The Beach Edition held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center.

As our conference attendees reflect all areas of the library, we encourage submissions from staff at all levels, backgrounds, and types of library organizations (academic, school, public, special, etc.). We look forward to proposals from a full range of library staff, including librarians, circulation, support, collection development, technical services, processing, mobile services and outreach, facilities operations, social impact, human resources, training, marketing, fundraising, and more!
